I turned around and saw Ted, a guy I hadworked with about five years before. He was always using that line. Ted isabout 6’2″ and 200 in al...l the right places. I’d forgotten that sexy grin ofhis and was delighted to see him. We hugged and kissed on the cheek and heordered the drinks for me. When they were ready I invited him to our table andas we turned to walk there I noticed Flasher Eric was deeply engrossed in a game ofbar dice with Cunga-Lunga. I introduced Cunga-Lunga. "Tell me, Myrna, is Dylan your boyfriend?" Well... I guess so..." You're not sure? You bring some boy home with you an' you're not sure if he's your boyfriend?" We're jus'... you know... hangin' out together." Is that what you were jus' doin'?" queried Gloria."Yeah," Myrna admitted."Looks like you mighta been doin' more 'n jus' hangin' out, girl," said Gloria. "I hope you remember what I tol' you 'bout usin' protection. You don't wanna get knocked up while you still in school."

Go finish your requirements.”The 172 was sitting there ready, but no instructor was in sight. I went ahead and did the preflight and had put Dora in a rear seat when Steve walked up, and said, “I wanted to be your final instructor, so let’s get this thing in the air.”Two hours under the hood wasn’t tough, but Dora was having trouble knowing that I was comfortable flying blind. I landed, and Steve took over.
